  It seems not: see [1,2,3,4].

  The digital money we are forced to use today is mostly privately created money
  created by private corporations (commercial banks) when they create loans.

  This implies incredible privileges for those private organisations and their
  owners.  They have the privilege to print private money and force us to use it
  as if it is official money.
  I don't see why commercial banks and their central bank lapdogs would want to
  change that.
  
  There are "interesting political constraints".
